Kissing After Eating Gluten Stack: Study Finds Celiac Disease Sufferers Can Still Smooch Safely

Kissing after eating gluten doesn't pass gluten to celiac disease sufferers, researchers confirm in a surprising new study. Turns out, even after devouring saltine crackers, your partner’s lips remain a gluten-free zone—so celiac disease smooching is officially safe. Gluten paranoia, meet science-backed romance!
Anne Lee’s team found that after a quick rinse with just 4 ounces of water, gluten in saliva dropped below the FDA’s gluten-free threshold—under 20 parts per million. That means gluten-free dating and “safe kissing” are now backed by real digestive health science.
